A characterful Georgian townhouse in Montrose could be turned into a holiday home or B&B after being put up for sale.

The five-bedroom property on Chapel Street, just off High Street, is spread over three storeys and is colourfully decorated throughout.

The house was put on the market in May for £200,000 but its price has now been cut to offers over £190,000.

Yopa, which is marketing the property for sale, says it would “make a great business opportunity as a bed and breakfast or holiday home”.

The entrance hallway – which features a sweeping staircase – leads through to the open-plan living room with turquoise-blue walls, two front-facing windows and a recessed alcove.

Next to the lounge is a laundry room with a WC and wash-hand basin.

The kitchen is fitted with a wooden worksurface and twin sinks, along with wall shelving and two dressers, which will remain.

The dining room features a double-shelved storage cupboard and plenty of space for dining.

Four of the five bedrooms are located on the first floor.

The first bedroom has an opening through to a dressing room which could be a sixth bedroom if desired.

It also benefits from an en-suite shower room.

The second bedroom has a side-facing window with working shutters and benefits from an en-suite shower room.

The third bedroom has a front-facing bay window, giving views over Montrose’s rooftops towards Ferryden, the lighthouse and the sea.

It has a walk-in wardrobe, an access hatch into the eaves, and an en-suite shower room.

The fourth bedroom also overlooks the surrounding rooftops with views towards the Angus Glens, and there is a smaller fifth bedroom.

The home also has two family bathrooms.

A “secret” door offers access to the attic floor with another hatch into the eaves for storage.

Yopa says prospective buyers are getting “a lot of accommodation for the price”.

Elsewhere in Angus, a French Gothic mansion in Arbroath is set to go under the hammer.

And an Auchterhouse ‘McMansion’ at the foot of the Sidlaws is on sale for £825,000.
